You Are Not Lost
Disappointment arises from weak thoughts like "no one loves me," which further weaken you. Why should anyone love you? What is so special about you? Instead, ask if you love others. Do you even understand love? Cultivate motivation and independence. Do not compare yourself or think you have lost everything. If you did lose something, it was merely given and then taken back. The modern world is full of temptations and disappointments. If you are disappointed, do not suffer, for this is not the last disappointment. We will celebrate the last one. Therefore, take things as they are. Meditate, pray, do good, and do Śiva—do not depend on anyone. It comes and goes.
"You often say, 'No one loves me,' but have you considered why they should?"
"We will celebrate the last one. That is it."
